@@Kenriko have a word with yourself!!!

You should see if you can pick up a used imax camera for blogging .
You don't blog with cameras. You vlog.
@@radiozelaza I think he bloggs
@@radiozelaza ur not my mom
😂👍🏾
Anything less than IMAX camera vlog is sh*t! 😂👍
i dont think i learned shit about full frame vs. crop sensors lol but i enjoyed the animal planet commentary
I'm not sure if you're doing acid before your videos, but whatever it is you're doing, keep doing it. It works. You're very unique.
The hair is legendary. I now have a camera addiction because of this channel. I want to test every brand.
So the conclusion is that Fuji has some black magic that gives you good luck.
I'll buy one to keep around my neck as a lucky charm
Unbelievable how you've made an entire lore over cameras
What’s annoying is that even though I love full frame, the only camera I want to use is the x-t4. The build, the feel, the image. Damn you.
I want an XH2S but I’m too deeply in love with my XT4. The ergonomics, the experience is everything.
This is the real struggle.
I sold my a7iv because I thought the fuji was better at 90% of things except AF and low light.
@@adnan_velic and how is it?
@@adnan_velic I’m trying to sell my a7sii for a fuji also
08:20 Your background music score is always mesmerizing. It's even cooler that you create them yourself.
There is always a trade off. The less expensive full frame cameras are severely handicapped. I find that you are trying to find a camera that has amazing photography applications as well as video. I really don’t think there is one that does both well. It is pretty much one or the other. The best and cheapest is the Lumix S5 full frame with a in body stabilization lens 24-105. The AF is not terrible. It is not nearly as bad GH5 or 6. With a smaller sensor it is so cropped which is a good thing for wildlife. I recommend micro 4/3 system for anything long distance because the size is so small. With the long focal distance you can still have subject separation. In the over $3500 range (probably more)you might be able to find a full with decent specs (10 bit color 444 all I. That is what Netflix wants. Full frame stabilization is terrible. Sony A7 Iv is the only option but the slow motion is weak sauce. Better slow motion with small sensor. The rolling shutter is ridiculous. The biggest proof of the seesaw handicap is in the GH5s. They give Raw photo mode 12bit to balance out that 10 megapixel sensor. That is basically means that they’re choosing not to give the cameras 12 bit. Bottom line is you have to use the external recorder option. All the good glass not have stabilization. Gimbals are not practical. The companies want there to be a reason to buy the expensive cameras. But the expensive cameras are not a big bang for their buck. Used lumix s5 with firmware and the 24-105mm stabilization Lens.
Whats the cheapest full frame camera for photography that is not handicapped
Man I’m really enjoying your videos. Have binged at least a dozen. Thanks for doing whatchu do!
5:15 In general, for any footage that you are heavily grading, you should be doing most sharpening in post for best results. That's why the eterna looks sharper, because the same sharpness algorithm is applied at the correct stage. Sharpness algorithms basically just take neighbouring pixels and stretch their contrast. If you have a super flat image (F-Log) and stretch its contrast, you won't get that much contrast/'sharpness'.
I just wanted to state that the " robin" that was dancing for you is a cardinal. Your commentary is very entertaining.
I have never seen anybody saying so much interesting technical things in such poetic words and senstences. Keep going, I really like your channel, awesome :-(
amazing footage man, congrats!
4K 120p looks great in 265 Long Gop 420 10 bit 720 Mbps renders beautifully in F-Log2
I shoot FF and apsc but when shooting apsc I add loads of lead to my gear to match the FF weight.
I broke my Sony A7iv and while I waited for repair, I got Fujifilm X-T4. Beautiful camera with lots of great features, and your right about Sony being better with options for the crop and full frame.
Very informative, great narration, love your comedy LOL!
Andy Mumford made me believe in crop sensor (xt3 and xt4) for landscapes. I still want out of my a6400 but I truly can't decide the direction to upgrade in.
Andy uses Medium format these days 😢. I am confused now. Whether to get Fuji x or a full frame.
@@debadri he uses medium format only some of the time. Watch his recent Utah video, most of his images are still all XT5. I did upgrade to Sony full frame for a year but just recently sold it and went to Fuji.
@@jonnymurgatroyd856 how is your experience so far with Fuji? Are you happy? Do you miss anything from the fullframe days? Do you have an instagram where I can check and follow your work?
This is my first video I’ve seen of yours, and, I don’t know you, and I don’t feel like even if I did in person, that I would ever understand you (and it’s a wonderful thing)
Every single day I show up to houses with a crop sensor. I don't think anyone notices.
This was a good one. Lots of nice clips, thanks for sharing them. No moths in this video tho. That white one was a butterfly....meanwhile I came here looking for a reason to ditch aps-c and waste money on a Sony ff, and I found that for which I sought. Thank you.
When I started becoming more interested in video/photo I thought I'd play it safe by starting with APSC, so my first leap was a Sony A6000, from there I upgraded to an A6600, and you guessed it, I have the Sigma trio for it. I love it for the size, and it's great for its portability. The most frustrating thing to me about the A6600 was it's video, it just barely does 4K, the rolling shutter and bit depth became more of an issue to me, so I recently added a Sony A7S III just for video. If money was no object, I'd probably get an Alpha 1 or an A7R IV, alongside the A7S III. I think it's likely the next version of the A7S will have video animal eye AF along with probably better 240fps support. I haven't been thrilled with the line-skipped "1080", but I have to say for most things the 4k 120 is stellar, the quality drop, even at 12,800 ISO is pretty minimal. It really is a beast. Personally I don't have an issue with Sony color science. If you're feeling super pedantic, you can use a color-checker and correct in Davinci Resolve pretty easily to "neutralize" weird colors, it is an added step however and quite annoying.
I love it when the Fujifilm magic happens. I personally like Astia & Eterna profiles 🙂
Full frame magic isn't something you see. It's a usability, and for me boils down to low light / high ISO performance, and dynamic range limitations, inherited by that. I have both full frame and apsc Sony bodies, and as much as I love smaller / lighter apsc setup, it's far more limiting and far less forgiving in low light situations. The reasons are pure physics: you get much less light into the sensor, at the same time, all your focals multiply by 1.5, which means you also need higher shutter speeds. Surely, low density apsc sensor combined with good ibis might solve the problem, but I haven't seen a lot of these combinations recently.
I use Fuji APSC (XS10) and Sony FF (A7Rmk4). I also frequently use the Sony in APSC mode. In most shooting situations when minimal cropping is needed (eg landscape) I see no difference between them in the final JPGs at typical viewing sizes. In fact both cameras are stunningly good and crap in the air has more effect on IQ than the sensor sizes.
It’s only in more demanding focussing situations that the Sony has an edge.
I've had the 150-600 now for a month and have been using it with my x-t4. Really enjoying it! I know you've played with the lens in the store, but I would suggest you ask Camera Canada to lend you a copy and try it with your x-t4. Would be curious to get your feedback. :)
100-600 with the xt4 is brilliant
As a viewer I have to admit that the Fuji colors get me every time. I see your Sony footage and yes - it's better in everything regarding picture quality _except_ the colors and the missing Fuji "mystique" you've mentioned. I'm always more enchanted by the Fuji footage and if I was to buy one of the two cameras I think the Fuji colors and mystique would win me over. Sony does so many things right, but are they wrong for the same reason? It's weirdly entertaining to observ your constant inner struggle with the "superior" reptilian overlords :)
It is hard to find a Canadian as funny as you hahahaha! From Toronto here! :)
I know little about the matters discussed - but I am starting to get it…!,
‘’ I wouldn’t but I might.” So decisive. Always entertained. 😀👍🏼. Best wishes my. friend. And Yes, is was a cardinal not a robin. 👽👽
I was actually going to say that I like your hair a lot in this video, and then you mentioned your hair. It looks cool.
Just a guess, crop sensors have a 1000 to 1 use advantage on professional video productions over full frame all time. It's likely your favorite movies, tv shows, news prodcast, sports events, etc. was shot on Super35 or smaller sensor's.
@@science830 The only reason Stranger things is going full frame is because they wanted to stay with the alexa and have native 4k. You will see that most stuff in a near future will be back to s35 because of the new alexa. Full frame is not advantegous in most professional productions because it limits lenses available.
The full frame look is a hoax. Adjusted for DOF and FOV there is nothing to it. Look up Steve Yedlins site where he scientifically debunks the "full frame look". It something manufacturers shove down prosumers throats. Its the new pixel pushing. The only real reason for a larger sensor is the usage of large photosites, which would produce a cleaner image and could handle more dynamic range. But most manufacturers just cram in more sites on a larger sensor sell people 8k.
@@vedranrupic2846 EXACTLY 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
@@vedranrupic2846 Dynamic range isn't even an issue for those who understand LIGHT and have full control over it. You're spot on tho.
So many people miss the importance of ADC.
@@vedranrupic2846 Nearly a hoax. APS-C/Super 35 is relatively easy to account for since it's not all that much smaller than full-frame, but you'll be hard pressed to make a cell-phone sized sensor pull of the same look, not to mention pixel density. I'm not saying you're wrong, just saying on the extreme edges of size differences there's a trade-off which eventually does start to become significant.
When will you try a nikon Z9 .? Ideal town street park wildlife camera 📸..
Great channel and contents..enjoying a lot.
Just a small suggestion, the audio isn't as great as other channels. Its less audible. Would be great if u could look into it
What?
I bought my R7, getting it this Friday. Upgrading from an 80D. I'm a hybrid shooter , Sports, portraits, events. We'll see how I like it 🤓
Holding my money to my chest trying to resist the temptation… I also want an R7 with C-Log and unlimited video. That is what I have learned this new camera will offer.
To make it simple to understand why i love Fuji cameras, they're the closest thing you can get to an Alexa look without spending more than 5000$. Don't get me wrong, it's not even comparable, it's just the closest. No Sony, no Canon, no Panasonic can get this close. Something about the colors, highlight roll-off, skin tones, film like noise, images just look creamier and more organic.
Not true, you just dont know what you are doing. Fuji might be closer straight out of camera, but sony has more options in post and more dynamic range to work with.
@@Yodd How exactly does Sony have more options in post than for example the 14bit downsampled to 10bit prores that you get out of a Fuji x-h2s? Also not correct regarding dynamic range. Watch Gerald Undones test of the the x-h2s, which has the most dynamic range he has successfully measured in a hybrid. Including the a7sIII and the Fx3. While I agree with @hyperborean regarding the very pleasing colors in general of the Fuji, skintones are not rendered as well as on the Alexa. Highlight rolloff is very close, as well as noise.
@@vedranrupic2846 the dynamic range tests are not the same, because he corrected the images in post first to denoise the image which he didnt do for sony a7s3 because you cant turn off noise reduction in camera on a7s. The in camera results without postprocessing were better for the sony. If you want to do a fair comparison you can use ninja v and shoot raw because raw doesnt apply noise reduction which he could apply in post for the sony. Clearly the way he tests dr is expecting the image straight out of camera, post production nr is much better than in camera one that is why it gives a higher score. Without post nr sony has better dr.
@@Yodd My friend, what you are saying doesn't make sense. Processing is processing. Where it happens doesn't matter. In camera, in a computer or on a sandwich toaster. It's not a good thing for the camera to not be able to turn off noise-reduction. It just means that the dynamic range isn't there in the shadows without it. And all noise-reduction is a degradation of the image. So when you said in your original statement that "Sony is better for postproduction" is a contradiction to what you are saying now, because in post you want control, and if the noise-reduction is baked in, there is no way to undo that. You say without post nr sony has better dr, well thats just noise reduction no matter where you choose to do it. But if you have an image where there hasn't been applied already: You have more control. Which is what professionals want.
I'd love to see that comparison of the raw capture from both cameras, have you seen a comparison that you can point me to or are just making assumptions?
Forgot to mention, even BMPCC 6K pro doesn't look as good as Fuji cameras to my eye
Fuji x-h2s 4K 120 works fine. Just up the bit rate.
Up the bitrate and test again. It’s almost perfect. Consider your getting 5 x as many frames for the same bitrate per second. That will equal poor output.
It's not the cameras, it's the lenses. Fast full-frame zooms are fucking heavy. Even an f4 midrange zoom is bulky. The only genuinely portable full-frame lenses are standard and wide-angle primes. One look at f2.8 Lumix zooms is all it takes to make the case for MFT. And if that's not racy enough, consider how fast you can fly with a Speedbooster and Tokina APS-C zooms, or for something truly special, the Leica f1.7 zooms. Even something as garden-variety as the Olympus 12-100mm f4 has no peer in the full-frame arena. The only thing MFT has genuinely lacked is high-ISO performance, a hurdle which was demolished years ago with the GH5s, and now the GH6. IMO, the MFT future has never looked brighter.

Amazing what you see when you start photographing this stuff. Like I didn't know mosquitos bit frogs but I guess why not
I do exclusively photography and no video. I moved on from APSC to FF in 2020 and I don’t regret it one bit. I do love how much smaller APSC bodies are and how much cheaper the lenses are.
Bigger doesn’t make it better and it depends on the person’s needs and budget.
I recently tried on my EOS RP a magic lantern early build for c-log video and tried the first time using it.
At first i was suprised "how bad" it looks, but after editing it was SO MUCH BETTER than regular 1080p movie from RP
Since im not really interested in video, i hope for photographic usable ML versions to unlock the RPs potencial, but i really enjoyed testing c-log/one of these "professional" formats...

He is pure fun.
So what was the conclusion? Is it worth it, to use m4/3 equipment?
I'd love for you to try Astia Color: -2 H: -2 S: -2 DR400. Those are settings I use a lot and I absolutely love the color/range.
Same settings I use but with Eterna and +2 color, which makes sense since they are about 25% different saturation. I'll try your formula.
Hell yeah! I hope you enjoy it. I’ve tried turning up eterna as well and that too looks really nice.
@@seanmarkbaxter I checked my notes and there's actually 30% color satch diff, not 25%, between E and Astia. This is "6" diff on the color setting (each "1" is 5%), so +4 on E is same satch as -2 on Astia, I think.

Ive been tripping on vintage nikkors from japan on my Sony- the visuals are mind blowing
I recently picked up the nikkor-n 35mm 1.4 to use on my Sony gear, the older pre ai lenses are great value still.
I finally got through an embarrassing problem. My Imac was too old to use downloadable software from anybody to open Fuji Raw files. However that old computer (I couldn't upgrade the system for various reasons) is loaded with Adobe apps and music production software that I don't have to pay each month for. So I get a second Imac, with system Monterey, (still have the old one) play with a Capture One demo, then pal2tech tells me I can open Fuji Raw and save as a tiff using preview. I take a pic of my old Keystone 16mm using the X-H1, open preview, turn it into a tiff, and I now have a 192 meg tiff. I don't need full frame.
I like your mousemat!! because it's true!!
XT5 vs a7IV what to choose?
Watching at the moment, the F-Log actually looks pretty good or astia?... not sure how to spell that, I have no idea about Fugi profiles or settings, and was shamefully too lazy to Google it to come up with a more knowledgable sounding responce?
The white ballance does look nicer, it could be the recent hot weather that has the cooler sparper shadows appear a little more appealing.
Have to tried that Sony's APs-C "Clear image zoom" for video..1-2 x at 4K not bad ..Agree I enjoy my XT3 more, less rolling shutter, but for video (only) wildlife..not bad. ..good for the dragon flies.
It's all about a personal need philosophy. There is always a faster car, but I am not going to drive an Ariel Atom daily. There is always a better phone, but I am not going to spend over 1200 USD for a damn phone. Same with cameras. I would buy full frame for professional work only and since I am doing none, APS-C (Sony) perfectly suits my needs. It is a camera that is close the the concept of the best camera which is with you at the moment. Low light performance and bokeh is potent enough and image quality is miles ahead compared to phones. I don't have to scare people with a bazooka attached to it's body and it is a beast in a small package (I am looking at you, micro 4/3). There are always better and larger sensors. Would you consider going with a large format for bird photography?
I need one of those mouse pads!!
This is so cool, even though its been done over many times but Wildlife mode, could you do a video on how you fell into wildlife rabithole from your Vlogging Adventures ?
I think curently and in near future full frame will be the better option for some reasons - with the overwhelming amount of mirrorless cameras nowadyas and their shorter flange distances now you can adapt easily cheap old vintage glass, also in general mirorless cameras are lighter. My current FF camera is lighter that my previous NIkon crop DSLR. Also it's easier to produce wider range of fast lenses for full frame than for crop sensor. For example there is 14mm f1.8 AF lens for full frame, the equivalent for crop sensor should be 9mm f1.1, which is non-existant.
I realize now that you are at the peak of a pyramid of people that care about what your face or anyone's face or the colors look like while vloging or shooting videos. At the top alone is You and the only person that really cares the most, underneath you there's a few people that pay attention and understand and do care about those subtle differences and as the pyramid gets wider and lower everyone down there can hardly tell any difference and really don't care at all lol. Your voice carries mostly from the top downwards through those people that care and kind of fades I guess when it gets down to the ones that don't care, as one would expect. So there's really only a few people up top that can tell the difference or really care about those different c-logs and skin tones and all that. I guess as long as you've got a lot of viewers and everyone's enjoying the videos it doesn't matter! Enjoy being at the top!
If you only had the GH6 mini sensor you would be selling stock footage to Animal Planet.
Casey, have you ever considered having your viewers send in some wildlife shots that they took, and viewing them through your channel? Would that be good content? Just an idea, that I’m sure you have already thought about...
If you could see some of the shots that I have been getting, you may just have to scrape your jaw off of the floor... And I’m not trying to say that what I have is of the best quality, that is definitely something that I am trying to work on, hence the reason I been watching your videos.
Why is canon so warm on the ceiling compered to Sony and Fuji? Weird. It’s almost like Fuji and Sony are using two different white balances on the same scene, one for your face and another for the background.

I’ll buy my Fuji Assassin t shirt secondhand would be weird not to
It will fits the look your going for as long as you drop the tia part for the name.
Full Frame is nice if you ONLY care about photography and don't care much about the Expense, Video quality, Stabilization, Size/weight and somewhat limited lens selections depending on brand.
I've stuck with M43rds from the beginning because it does EVERYTHING Good Enough. Except maybe autofocus in video but I've more of a Photography guy personally. ;) I admit APS-C looks like a nice balance too.
Size doesn't matter ...as long as you've got a big one. The S5 into the Ninja V gives you Full Frame, 5.9k RAW Prores 422 at 12 bit. The image is poetry. But keep in mind, if you point a 90k Alexa at a bag of laundry under a harsh midday sun, it is just going to look like a bag of laundry...shot under the midday sun. You have got to compose your shots, light and design them, paint the walls to match your actors acne, etc. Non of that has anything to do with the camera. The "cinematic Look" has nothing to do with the camera. All you want from the camera is maximum data capture... at Full Frame. Big one!
Love your Popeye forearms (4:23) with the Fuji lens!
That wasp was saving that butterfly from that Covid flower.

Seems like you always get unique shots with the Fuji, where with the Sony your shots are good, but a bit stale
So, how's that XH-2S you didn't buy? :-) I think your friend Dahmon was enjoying it... Have a great week!
Astia has a slight orange/blue grade with softer shadows. It looks similar to Canon's FD (Fine Detail) profile. Astia is the best option for skin hue on Fujifilm. I'd still use Velvia with the saturating down for everything else though. The highlights clip less.
Still killing me, I'm wanting to upgrade from my xt2 and I can't decide. I've been really into wildlife and landscapes lately in Northern Arizona. Also more video, I used my xt2 hand held for some action shots and it was so jittery and disgusting.
Well stabilization is important, tripods, gimbals and lens stabilization are there for it but it cost
Sent my xt2 for repair 2 months ago, yesterday bought xh2s. no regerts.
@@alptunga I was torn because the Sony a7iv is the same price but I have 3 fuji lenses already. I wanted full frame for better landscapes but I'm really enjoying the use of video and sports photography. In guessing the xh2s might do the trick.
@@garrett1144 Same situation. 1 kit, 1 16mm prime and 50-150 which i freshly bought just before xt2 ded. Not going to spend thousands for replacing the lenses i already have. After watching tens of xh2s reviews only thing i might not like is autofocus worse than sony but hell, upgrading from xt2 here. And compared to 10 fps (lossy raw) sony, 40 fps xh2s (raw) is far better for my use case which is taking my dogs photos along with random city animals.
Fuji 50r and 100s using Astia. The way to go for stills. No video for me
Fuji must have wildlife voodoo baked in. I take my stupid little X-E4 out and deer/squirrels/fowl will chase me down for a cameo. 🪰
Zv-e10: nothing. Fx3: double nothing.
Yeah I was pissed you recorded last time with Eterna as a standard colours, which definitely isn't, I love Astia for wedding photography tho
you were being mean to the fudge over there. yes i said fudge. it s always tempting to say.
what' you film there in mate? f22? how could you stand it for more than a few minutes?
After the presentation of the xh2s and at the price of 2500, IF YOU WANT TO BUY NOW, what possibilities do you have? 1. Canon? crippled cameras, expensive lenses, Sony ? They made the a74, with 60p crop in 2022!!! Sony a7siii ? 1500 more??? Fuji xh2s? Why don't you admit it?? It's the best thing out there right now.
Astia was nice-ish... Look - out of memory, Standard is just that, Velvia is accentuating contrast and saturation, a blend of both perhaps, Astia is a slight slight blend of the Velvia with standard. nothing special about it in particular. I mean i will say it's the better of the two, no contest, but it depends on your scene. where the Fuji shines and accentuates for skin tones in my honest opinion, is not so much the film sims as with the dance between the film sims and the white balance, not to mention your dynamic settings (both in range and in working with your lows and highs, all in the quick menu, to paint your shot) because our eyes see only so much, and the camera sees more. what do you want it to say? -- when you start using the classic chromes and classic negs for skin tones, plus really playing with the WB, perhaps adjusting your screen temp to match your monitor - camera monitor and pc as well -- you ll achieve much better results.
i mean i think you re not doing this camera any justice Kasey. it s much more versatile, it ll eat up any other camera, between the film sims, the massive wb (because the tolerance to a dailight setting on a fuji is not the same as the tolerance of a dlight sett in panasonic or God forbid a Sony. horrible that. you have to change constantly, but i love all systems, they re all special in their own way, but not in this. Fuji is the WB king, but i have not tried (new) Canons.
let me rephrase that, you re really good at your job mate :) you take wonderful videos and photographers are bad people, that's why they get upset over a joke that probably made them more famous in the first place. however, you re not doing it justice with the skin tones. Fuji is massive with what it can do.
I HAVE AN IDEA
here s how you get to it -- put a dark scene in. something that you would legit need to use 10.000 ISO to make it work in the least, 12 thow might not be as clean, and i put -4 on NR because the NR in the Fuji is grand, and because NR renders the image in a funny way. any iso grain tends to still be there but blurred out or doing chroma weird stuff in HD, whereas -4 is beautiful -- but if you legit put a night scene on, if you of course stop being a grandpa and come up with more challenging night scenes, you ll quickly discover what every film sim is capable of.
i know Eterna might seem lovely to you in the daytime here and there because of colors or whatnot, but in the low light is where it really shines. In low light it s the closest thing you have to a Log, and it responds better to the before mentioned shadow tweaking. it will have a slight magentish hue to the dark areas. whereas the only other sim that covers low light okay, which out of memory should be the pro neg standard (or the other neg if not) which is purely lovely -- that renders the shadows with a slight blueish or greenish tint, but very welcoming, film like, nothing sony like or anything. and extremely welcoming against Eterna. which i just don t prefer, only if i want to emulate a Sony look, and turn my shadows up...
so after those tests, of taking some vids, and reviewing them, remembering the film sims, you ll see that you have way more power than youtube needs for a correctly or artistically rendered face. -- was going to say that when you switch film sims in night scenes, you ll notice, that even though there is a high tolerance to the fuji WB, changing film sims will perhaps need a different white balance, depending on what you set it for and your scene.
-- what makes your face look better on Fuji than anything else is the contrast they can manage, the specific picture profiles they have, and the highlight rolloff. i suggest playing around with the WB to expose for the skin tone you like. try this first in STD, THEEEEEEEEN change film sims. you ll see it's going to skew those initial preferences out of whack.
and for the love of video, adjust your WBs, to a T. to a Toneh.
but for all this to work, you have to know what you're doing. what you want. and to have a calibrated screen. do some tests. does the video on your EVF or cam Monitor look like the one in Resolve with no tweaks?
know what you re doing, what does that mean? well at least in the minimal sense. you have to know, after you change a setting if that is what you wanted to do or not. does that bring you closer to your desired look? or not?
i m writing all this because, i love you man.
i see a good heart there, running around in circles trying to find the perfect thing that he will never find.
because often times, the perfect thing is within us. not us in particular, but our ability to find and appreciate what we've got.
i think you should continue to crazy-russian-hack your way into every camera. i love you as a reviewer, but as a person, i think you deserve more peace. more peace of mind and peace of heart, that you have all that you need and then some.
please keep the videos coming mate. you ve brought allot of joy to my heart. was just trying to share my ideas on the matter, i know they would have been more fitting for a face to face but it is what it is. God bless you and yours!
Every time I grade sony footage I throw up in my mouth a little bit. I really want to like those cameras because they tick so many boxes but....they just don't look right. Some skin is yellow, some skin is red. And they don't even seem to bend into each other. Just patches of yellow and red. You try to fix the yellow but then you have to fix the red and you end up with nothing good. All I really care about is how does the image make me feel. And Fuji makes me feel good.
If I’m not mistaken Fuji beat Canon in image quality in blind tests. I like Canon because I think their skintones are better for African Americans. Could it be the magenta?
Have you seen latest DIY Perks video? He achieved NIGHTMARE TONEH
So, purely for stills, no action, no bif, no sports, what do I want?
Nice Astia
I used full frame for years.. but recently I don't want to haul around a big setup. And m43 became better and better over the years... so now I use m43 for video and photos more and more. No urge for now going back full frame...
If the gx9 had a mic input there would be no competition
@@Visual_GhoulAnd a 4K with no crop, then I would agree and order it right now...
@@anantachydrupamayam1718 just use a wider lens to compensate for the crop.
@@Visual_Ghoul Yeah, sure, but if I want to shoot 4k with a prime lens like my 25mm 1.7 it is a limitation...
@@anantachydrupamayam1718 get the 15mm 1.7 😁
Fuji magic cannot be matched. The x trans sensor is something else.
I believe in Fuji mediumish format and there's nothing (1080p video cough cough) you can say to sway me!
I'm not sure why it happened, but the F-Log footage of the spider appears about a stop overexposed compared to the Eterna. The highlights are blown out, making the footage look unsharp. Did you compare their relative wave forms in post? Or the histograms in camera?
I probably could have recovered the highlights, I didn't want to mess around with it.
You give me Uncle Rico vibes 😆👍
I just watch to feel good about my terrible hair. A phone camera is good enough for me and my hair.
I hope that before you start talking about colors you have first got a monitor that has true color reproduction and that is calibrated, if you haven't, please do it.
Have you considered shooting in HLG3/Rec.2020 then exporting it to Rec.709? You'll have plenty of dynamic range and a much wider color space to play with as well.
Astia most underrated fujifilm simulation.
Just being a geek for a sec.
Wes Anderson shot "Fantastic Mr. Fox" 🦊 on a Nikon D3 🤯
.....with Cooke Varotal Lenses.
A $5,000 camera with $100,000 glass.
Not the D3s or D3x, the first D3.
It’s not crop vs full. It’s APS-C vs Full calling it crop defines nothing. Neither does Analog define anything.
